Postdoc

As a postdoctoral researcher, I specialize in accelerating MR turbulens mapping for rapid heart and vessel imaging using advanced undersampling and k-space reconstruction techniques. I also support scanner operations and programming at CMIV.

Presentation

My research is focused on the acceleration of the MR turbulence mapping to permit data acquisition of the heart and major vessels within a breath-hold, by incorporating a highly undersampled data acquisition approach optimized for turbulent flow conditions and state-of-the-art k-space reconstruction combined with a novel flow-guided reconstruction strategy. During this time, I am also providing support for scanners at CMIV. Where the focus is to program new pulse sequences, generate new patches where required and port the patches from one scanner to another.
